K-epsilon model turbulence model:
The K-epsilon model is one of the most common turbulence models, although it just doesn't perform
well in cases of large adverse pressure gradients. It is a two equation model that means, it includes two
extra transport equations to represent the turbulent properties of the flow. This allows a two equation
model to account for history effects like convection and diffusion of turbulent energy.
The first transported variable is turbulent kinetic energy, k. The second transported variable in this
case is the turbulent dissipation, \epsilon. It is the variable that determines the scale of the turbulence,
whereas the first variable, k, determines the energy in the turbulence.
